North Georgia residents know Dari Dip as one of the area’s best down-home diners, specializing in country cuisine including catfish dinners and gravy-smothered chicken-fried steak. And, of course, everybody knows Dari Dip is LaFayette’s one-stop ice cream shop, famous for its sherbet swirls, malt milkshakes and more.
But did you know that Dari Dip also caters far and wide — and with no delivery charge, to boot?
“Chattanooga, Ringgold — we travel,” said Don Benton, who co-owns Dari Dip with his son Donald.
Much like the restaurant’s regular menu offerings, popular catering orders often include Southern classics; although catering menus are customizable. Options range from fancy finger foods to country classics such as chicken and dumplings.
Event size is flexible, too. Whether you are planning a casual business meeting, private birthday party, wedding rehearsal or corporate affair, Dari Dip can accommodate groups of five to 500 diners.
And while delivery is always free, in-store pickup is also available — just in case you needed an excuse to stop by and sample one of Dari Dip’s down-home dishes: fried chicken livers, barbecued pork or grilled grouper, for example.
But, of course, save room for dessert. Dari Dip’s selection of sweet treats is as extensive as its list of catering options.
